Pottery as 9th Wedding Anny. Gift?

Tomorrow is my 9th Anniversary to my lovely wife Michele. She's the greatest gal in the whole world and have no doubt she is a 110% Redskins fan.

Ok, so I'm a dewd and I ain't got a fricking clue what to get her for a gift. So what do I do in these modern times? GOOGLE IT!

So I find this list of stuff as gifts for each different year of marriage and it tells me Pottery is the gift for 9 years. I think if I hand her a Pot for a gift it will be a long LONELY night for me.

Do what?! Pottery? Are you kidding me? I gotta do better than that if I want to make it to 10 years. Trust me when I say when we vowed until death it was MY death we had agreed on. lol

I think I'll take her out to dinner "Wherever she wants to go" and give her the deposit voucher for a trip I am booking her and I in the winter.

Here's the list guy. Thoughts?
peace

Here's the way you handle this. You buy her whatever it is you want and then find yourself a nice piece of pottery. You put the gift in the pot and now you have stuck to the traditional while also fulfilling the need to actually produce a decent gift. She'll love it.

Because she's got all the ...., and half the money

Why does she get jewelry for gifts and I get a lousy dinner or some pathetic gift like a tie?

My husband is very grateful that I don't like to wear jewelry.

We only exchange gifts at Christmas. I don't see the point in spending money on stuff we don't really need. We will, however, spend a good chunk of change on football stuff come the end of July. While we're standing in the store we'll look at each other and say "happy birthday anniversary, honey."

Put a postcard of some kind of pottery in a card along with two tickets to Greece so she can pick it out.

Or just a single ticket. :oink::cheeky-sm

FRPLG had the best idea.

Who picked POTTERY as a gift? Could be worse, you could be on the "Clock" anniversary.:benched:


Seriously...whoever made up the "modern" list is stupid...APPLIANCES for the 4th? That's a trap.

The modern thirteenth is interesting (textiles). Just give your wife a big bolt of fabric and you're good.
